This looks like a solicitation for my comments...
I do all you mention with my myth box. When I was running with a
capture card (hauppauge PVR-350) and a 20" LCM monitor, all worked
perfectly. I could watch live TV, recordings, videos, and DVDs. I even
listened to MP3s and CDs without problems. I liked the MythWeather
pluggin too. A few months ago, I switched to a firewire connected
DCT-6412 and a Samsung 27" LCD HDTV. Once it's running, it's solid. If
for some reason, the firewire bus resets, there are times when the
nodeid changes. do not confuse this for a Myth issue. If you intend on
going with an analog capture card, you should not have any issues.
Other comments I've seen here and I'll make them again: people don't
generally comment when things are working.
